1973 DeTomaso Pantera GTS, European Version.
713 HP @ 7000 rpm
680 ft/lbs of torque @ 5600 rpm
-
8 weeks and counting until CSD in Pocono, PA. These pictures were from last Saturday when the Pantera was transported back to NJ from Long Island. The next 3 weeks will have the electrical work completed, see the gas tank, fuel system and engine installed and the it is back to Long Island for completion.
The engine is a 427 Cubic inch Clevor. It was built by MME in Maryland. The heads are an aluminum version of the Ford Cleveland head. The engine made a best pull of 713HP @ 7000rpm. This was on 93 octane pump gas.
Should be a blast to drive!
-
Ok just got the motor back and dynoed from MME in Maryland.
HOLY &!#$%&! 713HP was the best dyno pull. This was all motor, no turbo's, nitrous, or any kind of power adder.
That's more HP than any Ferrari or Lamborghini from the factory.

Wait a second weren't Vanilla Ice and Mc Hammer rappers? Just goes to show you the disposability of hip hop.

Oh are the facts driving you crazy?
Poor baby he's getting really mad.
Mr. freeze
rock Steady Crew
I'm not upset at all. I think you're hilarious. All your hypeing does not change the FACT that DJ P whatever does not rank, anywhere.

Yap Yap Yap so what they play three records at a time that doesn't make you good.
Just loud noise.
After hearing your response you have just showed me that you are clueless about what a good DJ does.
Man when they played in Vegas people were running out the club.
So what they spin for 5 hours at a time, it sounds like shit I told you before to play hours of noise doesn't make you a good DJ.
Mr. freeze
So in other words you have no FACTS to back up your assertions, only your opinion.
It's your opinion that mixing 3 records together at once doesn't take skill.
It's your opinion that those styles are noise.
It's your opinion that DJ Penis head is #1 on the planet.
NEWS FLASH: Your opinion does not count in the overall scheme of things.
But it's nice to know that you have these delusions

AS I SAID ON THE NY BOARD, YOU ARE A MORON AND A GLUTTON FOR PUNISHMENT
The DMC Championship is for Turntabalists, Hip Hop DJ's
The Top 100 includes all styles of DJ's and is therefore a more comprehensive and accurate ranking of DJ's.
Lots of drug free people love trance, techno, acid, breaks, tribal, and house. You don't have to be stoned to enjoy it. I have never taken a single drug and I love the stuff.
The guys I mentioned by name all play vinyl. I know, I have seen everyone of them live and they rocked it like no one else, on vinyl, stupid head!
Let me clarify for your limited intellect, they mixed three records simultaneously for over five minutes. Hip Hop Dj's are lucky if they mix two records more than a couple of beats together.
Hip Hop as a genre talks primarily about three things: Hoes, Cash (Or material wealth in all it's various forms), and Violence. The raps are no longer inventive or catchy with a few exceptions( Eminem comes to mind), have no social value, serve only to boost the artists ego and are the ultimate in repetiveness as they just recycle other people's beats.
Additionally the beats in hip hop are so slow you could fall asleep waiting for something to happen.
OH AND THE HYPE IS A BETTER DJ THAN YOUR BOY
-
Fact 1) Check out last month rolling stone magazine,tha write up on DJ P & DJ Z-Trip.
2) Mixing three different tracks makes you producer.
3) get the album or in your case CD uneasy listening.
4) DJ P creates his own mixes and takes old rock vocals and mixes them with new instrumental Funk & soul.
5) IM not talking about Hip hop IM saying DJaying in general.
Your guys play CD's there not DJ's.
6) pay the self proclaimed judges a couple of thousand and you ranked in that bull shit magazine.
Its all bullshit.
7) The only true DJ Ranking is the DMC World Championship battle of the DJ;s.
Not the bullshit your talking about.
Ya your going to you'se the excuse that that's Hip Hop, but the reality is, your boys just play bullshit that people have to be stoned to listen to,Its just loud repetaative bullshit.

The sets that peters plays is long but Therese no quality.
I heard him in Vegas,and he had people running out holding there ears.
There one DJ and only one that can really rock a crowd,and keep them visually & musically mesmorised,and that is DJ.P. from the uneasy listening CD made some years ago with then partner DJ Z-Trip, nobody in the world can rock like him.
And that's a fact.

the facts are,that the people that judge the dj's and rank them,mean nothing to the real DJ world.
pay them off and your in,any way who cares about a club DJ magazine,the people they judge are not dj's,there just cd players and computer players.
Mr freeze
Rock Steady crew.
Again you come before us with your meaningless hype.
Fact: DJ P Whatever, does not rank anywhere. Not by club goers, not on a national level, not on an international level, not in NY or NJ or Cali, or Miami.
He never charted in a magazine for a original production or for a mix cd.
So I asked you to back up your hype and you came up with nothing.
Who cares about a club magazine? People who go to clubs. The same people who should know DJ P Whatever if he had any ranking.
You can't say this guy is number 1 in the world and then say rankings don't matter.
The world ranking is not something that is easily manipulated and the DJ's at the top have far better things to worry about than paying someone to get a specific ranking.
Are you saying guys like Hawtin, Tiesto, PVD, Carl Cox, Frankie Knuckles, David Morales, are not true DJ's? Sorry but P Whatever has nothing on any of those guys. P Whatever is not even in the same league.
House, Trance and Techno DJ's are just as much DJ's as the Hip Hop guys. In some cases more so, especially when you consider that they blend two and three tracks together for minutes at a time.
This is in contrast to the cut and scratch style of Hip Hop DJ's who often do no true mixing at all, especially when the mixes are a single beat long.
-
Great come back.
Mr freeze
Rock steady crew
The basic fact is that after cutting through all your hype and words, your boy DJ P whatever has no ranking at all in the ranking of DJ's worldwide.
Does his name appear anywhere in the list of top 100 DJ's worldwide or not? Simple question with a yes or no answer.
So you are just another promoter trying to hype up some lame ass DJ.
The Hype could outspin your boy. Yous gots to stop smokin that crack!

ughhhh yea okkk
They are real stupid when they see their club make a huge profit.
You know nothing. go back to marketing 101
Yeah what he said!

bro you have too much anger towards DJ's and music and who plays new stuff and who plays commercial blah blah blah.........do you even have fun when you go out??? I'm only asking because isn't that what its all about??? Seriously, not as many people care about what technology or even if a song is 1week to 10 years old........only a small percentage of the club going population gives a shit........for the most part, people go out to get drunk dance and hopefully get laid......oh yeah, and hang w/friends!!!!!
You're right only a small percentage of clubbers care. The rest are uneducated and as you say just trying to get laid. Those people need to stick to their cheesy commercial clubs. These are the same people who have no idea of the significance of clubs like the Paradise Garage or The Warehouse.
When someone has invested their time to get the skills, to learn the difference between cheesy commercial crap and great music, invested money to seek out and buy great underground music it can be more than a little annoying when some amateur comes up and says "Yo man why you playing all this techno crap? Can't you play some fitty Cent?".
-
Then guys like Tiesto, and Ferry Corsten must be doing something rite if they are gettin Paid 40-50grand to play for few hours...
How much is your boy making for a nite's work??
enough so he doesn't have rely on food stamps?
Food Stamps! That's Great!

DUDE, NEWS FLASH: HIP HOP SUCKS
It's all bling this, bling that, pop a cap in your ass. It is music that caters to the lowest common demoninator.
SECOND NEWS FLASH: RIGHT NOW, AS VOTED BY THE CLUB GOING PUBLIC, DJ TIESTO IS THE #1 DJ ON THE PLANET!
Your opinion does not mean shit in comparison, so stop trying to hype up your boy. He might have mad skills,
BUT HE IS NOT THE #1 DJ ON THIS PLANET.
Maybe he is #1 in the on some twisted planet your drempt up. If so maybe you should go there and get the hell off of ClubPlanet.
-
It would nice if skills meant anything. Unfortunately skills have not mattered for years. I can think of several DJ's that continue to work on both a local basias and national basis whose programming and or mixing skills leave much to be desired yet they seem to be working all the time. So obviously it's who you blow and not what you know.

yo not for nothing but the routine is getting a little tired......

wait. someone said a proffesional dj PROGRAMS A MIX for the night? uhh no. A real dj can take any record at any time, out of any crate and make it work. The best is when a REAL DJ, just foes with the flow and pics songs at random. Songs that he feels would continue the vibe. I REFUZE TO SEE A DJ WHO PRACTICES A PRE PROGRAMED MIX. YUCK!
Obviously you misunderstood. Let me make myself clear. I am not saying a DJ who walks in the door with a pre-thought out list or pre-mixed material, that's monkey work.
What I am saying is a DJ who walks in with his collection for the night and programs an entire night of music from what he has brought with him. This type of DJ understands the ebb and flow of a night and knows when and how to drop and mix the right music for that particular time of night.
Hopefully I have made myself understood at this point.

Man...I have to respond to this one...
It doesn't matter, fake, not fake. All you have to do is look at the scene for little while and you will come to realize that skills do not at all matter anymore.
The only thing that matters is celebrity and numbers. Be a celebrity and you will get booked. <---Talk about stating the obvious...how is that a bad thing. People like celebrities. Its a fact of life. And numbers. Tell me, if you owned a club or bar, would you have entertainment there that didn't draw people?If you can get people to show up and you are playing polka music, the club owners will book you.(If you can get people to show up by playing polka music, you DESERVE to get booked...)
It's a bad thing because people who have skills, spent time actually practicing, spent tons of money on vinyl, and actually can program and mix for the arc of a night don't get the chance to play in front of people.
That's all they and the promoters care about, numbers, heads showing up. (And you know this how? I know my bosses care about throwing as great a party as we can on any night we're open. And again, what business owner in their right mind, wouldn't care about people showing up. No people=no business)
None of these comments were directed at CroBar, if that's who you work for/are defending. CroBar actually does a good job of booking quality DJ's for the most part.
At this point promoters basically control the whole thing. The owners are basically lazy and don't want to, or don't know how to do the work of promotion. (Seriosuly, change promoters and club owners to "FBI and Government" and you sound like a UFO nut...big conspiracy.)
It's not a conspiracy, it's called laziness.
They hand it over to the promoters who book by basically using the people that suck up to them or have some sort of celebrity status. (Promoters don't book. Promoters promote what is already booked.)
Promoters do book DJ's and have way too much say in that. But you are right in that, that is the way it should be, promoters should promote what the venue is doing regardless.
Just look at all the porn stars and centerfolds that get booked at clubs. What does a porn star or centerfold have to do with music? So why do they get booked? For what? So people can go and see the porn star and say: "I saw a porn star in person" or " They're not all that" or "I got an autographed picture" <----WOW, umm...yes. Obviously if venues are doing this. then it is working. And Pornstars and celebrities have to do with ENTERTAINMENT.And the 1000s of people who show up to these events is pretty good proof that it is a good idea.
It's sleazy, lowest common demoninator promotion and usually ends up being a sausage party. And then on top of it they try to let them spin with marginal DJ skills. Let the real DJ's spin and put the 4th tier celebrities on the stage in a cage so everybody can gawk at them like the freaks they are. Just keep them out of the DJ booth that's all I'm saying. Sure they can add to the party, just not in a musical sense.
It's like the old time freakshows. People want to and gawk at the freak. On most levels that is what the scene is about now.<---its also what the scene was about 10 20 and 30 years ago. Yeah, I know Twilo this and Sound Factory that....BS I was there for those days. It was about the buzz and being part of the "exclusive" crowd. SF and Twilo did it by being "Underground" Palladium Limelight Club USA did it by having the outlandish freaks and parties. It was never only about the music. And it will never be only about the music. It will always be about the party as a whole and music can play a lot or a little in that equation.
Again nothing wrong with encouraging a freak show, just keep them out of the booth and give them no involvement with the music selection.
Just forget the idea that the ability to mix and program a night of music means anything anymore. It hasn't mattered for a long time and I don't see it changing anytime soon.<---come on now really...It really amazes me how on a message board dedicated to nightclubs, one of the most liberal and free thinking types of entertainment out there...and sooo many people sound like ultraconservatives who crave the good ole days and hate anything different and spend their days bashing anything new. Or pine and wish for a return to some mythic ideal of what was once great...I find it sad.
Did I say I pined for the old days? In fact I like primarily new music off the beaten path, underground music. I have never bashed anything new, nor did I in this post. Just play good music, not cheese. If you are going to play a commercial cut, at least play the underground version, not a radio cut.
Anyway, sorry to semi-flame here, but seriously people...HAVE FUN. Do what you want and go where you want. We live in NYC there are 1000s of choices. Why do people insist on bitching about stuff when they do something else? Is being considered "Old School" on a message board that important? I dig this forum, and I dig the people here. Some really intelligent conversation takes place. But seriously, maybe some should learn to back off a little on the blind hating just for the sake of hating.
I'm getting off this soapbox...Lova ya CP
Nobody was hating. Is an opinion hating? Did I bash somebody, did I denegrate a particular club or DJ or promoter? No I didn't. So yeah get off the soapbox
